    Are you telling me that they drove them out there for the interviews and now they’re driving them back for the podium?

      Yes, that’s the plan. Someone sat down and thought that was a good idea, and absolutely no money changed hands to have a giant advert for the hotel with the fountains…

      Cooldown car instead of cooldown room. Interesting choice for the podcast location.

        To be fair, we heard a lot more of their conversation this time than usual. Pretty neat

    I don’t understand why everyone is saying the racing was great here. All overtakes were either slipstreaming behind another car or under breaking at the end of a straight. Sure it makes for a lot of overtakes, but not really that exciting after having seen the same move done a couple of times.

    Also, why was the cool-down room a Rolls Royce and not an American car like a Cadillac? Seems like a missed opportunity to promote more Americana.

      The circuit created chaos, which required skill to manage on and off track since you need to be ready to adapt. So it was exciting to watch.

      I think I like this track more for racing than for qualifying though. A little bit like Baku, but with uglier scenery.

      Most of the chaos was because the track was slippery as fuck. All those spins at the start were crazy.
